If you are thinking of living on an island just off the coast of Charleston, look no further.  I just staged a house there that is absolutely lovely.  With new granite, new stainless appliances and incredible views from almost every room, this is a must see on Dewees Island.  The ferry ride over is a lot of fun and you can sometimes see dolphins along the way.   The way of life there is very natural and everyone I have met was very friendly.  The beaches are pristine.  You owe it to yourself to make an appointment to see this house!  Just give Reggie a call at Simplistate and he will be glad to show it to you. 

Creekside is one of the many hidden jewels of Mount Pleasant. Tucked behind some shopping centers, the neighborhood is between Highway 17 and Shem Creek. It’s community pool and tennis club is so nice that many residents from other neighborhoods, such as the Old Village and The Groves, join in the summer. Check out this video to see more of the highlights and get a feel for the neighborhood.

The Charleston Trident Association of Realtors put together a great video summarizing the sales and inventory numbers of 2009 compared to the last few, dating back to 2006.

This video was just featured today on the Charleston Regional Business Journal “Daily Journal”.

Tonight, the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy held an “eco-spiel” at WatersEdge Restaurant on Shem Creek. It was a chance for companies and people in Mount Pleasant and around the Lowcountry who are interested in green issues to network and exchange ideas.

As an environmental conscious real estate brokerage, we’re always interested in hearing how other companies are contributing to the community in an environmentally friendly way.

I heard about several cool initiatives…

1. The Mission of the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy is to enhance the quality of life for all East Cooper residents through education and preservation of open space by promoting protection, acquisition and stewardship of our land resources.
2. GRO — Green Roof Outfitters - The GRO Modular system is the modern method of installing green roofs. This pre-planted system blends all of the environmental and economic benefits of green roofs with a simplistic method of installation and little maintenance.
3. Sustainable Warehouse devotes much of its time to stripping reusable items from buildings that are about to undergo demolition or renovation.  The salvaged items are then available for sale to builders and to the public.
4. DwellSmart’s mission is to help protect and improve the health of individuals and the environment. They work to fulfill this mission by selling a wide variety of low impact product.  They sell everything from eco cleaners to low VOC paint to sustainable flooring.

A bunch of other interesting folks with interesting goals were also in attendance.
